Yes! Small dogs in carriers (under 6kg) travel free on Metro, RER, and buses. Larger dogs must be muzzled and leashed, and require a reduced-price ticket (50% of standard fare). Service dogs ride free without restrictions.
Jardin du Luxembourg allows leashed dogs in designated areas. Bois de Boulogne and Bois de Vincennes have off-leash zones. Parc des Buttes-Chaumont is a local favorite with beautiful walking paths.
